Our boudoir studio is affectionately nicknamed, the diva room.

KIM MALLORY PHOTOGRAPHY DOWNTOWN | Boudoir, Pin-up Style Photography, Diva Room

If you haven’t already heard, I am no longer going to be a part of Adore pictures; a studio I opened last year in downtown Chilliwack with a business partner. After a lot of soul searching I’ve come to realize that I can’t do it all and I just need to focus on doing what I love.

As a result of this change Adore pictures has moved and KIM MALLORY PHOTOGRAPHY has taken over the downtown Chilliwack location. This studio space is amazing and it has so much beauty and history, I am completely inspired by it. It was built over 100 years ago and after a bit of research I found out it was Chilliwack’s first silent theatre and a meeting place of the local suffragettes; a woman’s movement that fought to give woman their right to vote! It has old tin ceilings and beautiful hardwood floors and behind the drywall is still the original archway of the stage which can be seen if you poke your head into the attic. It’s so cool!

I’m in the process of transforming this studio into a boutique style with the plan of taking the boudoir out of my home studio and expanding The Beautiful Woman Project to also include Pin-up Photography! Having this studio gives me more options for shooting clients and I’ll also be hosting events & workshops. I will continue to work out of my home studio and as per usual, everything is by appointment.

If you are a local photographer I will be leasing out some studio space and I’m also looking for services & products that compliment The Beautiful Woman Project. I want to create a really special space that will empower & pamper woman and I am open to all creative ideas. I have tons of space to work with and would love to create a co-op of businesses under the same roof so let’s talk!

So, without further ado, here is a “sneak peek” of the studio space..  This week I’ll be hanging wallpaper and backdrops for my new sets and everything has to be done by September 24th in time for our DIVA Fashion Gala! Get your ticket soon and come and visit me in my new digs!!

DIVA! BOUTIQUE | Kim Mallory, Commercial Photographer.

Diva! (definition taken from the Urban Dictionary)

D-delightful
I-invasive
V-vivacious
A-attitude

A girl or woman with an exaggerated sense of self-importance. requiring a great deal of attention and excessive effort to maintain beauty, style and image.

And (I say this with a head tilt and a finger in the air)  ”We should all allow ourselves to be a diva once it awhile.  It’s part of the fun of being a girl!”   Every woman deserves to be pampered…  This is why I love The Beautiful Woman Project and shooting boudoir.. it allows us to step away from life and be glamorous for a day.   I shot these images for Diva! for use in their promotions and advertising.   I have also found Diva! to be a great place to shop if you’re planning your boudoir session.   They have amazing shoes, (I mean you will really feel like a diva with these shoes on.)… and lots of accessories including gloves, hair pieces and 50′s inspired clothes, perfect for a pin-up session.  Diva boutique is located on Mill Street, downtown Chilliwack, which has amazing shopping so you must get down there for an afternoon and check it out!

A BIT OF BOUDOIR | Chilliwack Boudoir Photographer, Kim Mallory

Oh how I love shooting boudoir in the Diva Room.   And holy mama is it ever getting busy in there – which is a good thing since it’s a great place to be during the summer months being that outdoor sessions at this time of year are so hot and sticky;  the diva room is really nice in the summertime….  just the right temperature.   Here are some of my recent faves if you missed them on the beautiful woman blog or cut right to the chase and visit my website that is completely dedicated to boudoir photography – www.thebeautifulwomanproject.com

Oooooo la la… | Vintage Boudoir, Fraser Valley Photographer

I had a comment from someone last week saying that they always thought that these were models on our website which kind of surprised me a little bit, because I don’t shoot for a magazine or anything… I’m just shooting boudoir.    But wow!  What a compliment.   Honestly, most of the woman that we shoot are moms between the ages of 29 & 49.   I had an email come in yesterday…. asking me how we get photos like this.    It’s  a combination of make-up, lighting and just the natural ability to seek out the beautiful attributes of a woman and record them.  Everyone is beautiful.. and while you may not see it in yourself… I do.   And husbands…let me tell ya… if there is one thing a husband doesn’t mind spending money on, it’s a session with The Beautiful Woman Project because it is every man’s dream to have a hot sexy mama living under their roof and sleeping in their bed.

Here are some photos of a beautiful mom that I just shot a few days ago… these vintage shots are done during the day so we can use some natural light too so if you’re planning a session and you like the vintage look you’ll want to plan for a daytime rendezvous.
